Big Manga

Chapter 202: Anthony's Condition

Meng Huo and Xu Jing met once, and then devoted themselves to work that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

There are many things, but he was surprised to find that there are very few places where he needs to intervene. Whether it is manga or animation, after two weeks out of his control, it has been able to run smoothly.

"awesome……"

While admiring Alice's ability, Meng Huo wondered whether his previous efforts were in vain.

He is indeed not a person who is good at management, maybe he cares too much about the works, when he was in the company, he was always very strict, but after letting go for two weeks, looking back, other people can handle it very well.

"It's not my fault, Meng Huo, you are lost."

Alice was worried that Meng Huo would be frustrated, so she quickly comforted him. The main reason for the smooth development of the company is that Meng Huo did a good job in the early stage. He worked out all the subsequent things in the early stage, such as animation scripts and character settings. Out of shape, so nothing happened after Alice took over.

"That's right, Mr. He Xi, this is all thanks to you, and our current review standards are still left behind by you!"

The people in the two editorial departments also thanked Meng Huo. "Weekly Girl" and "Weekly Boy" released several very good comics in the past two weeks, and these comics are very special, all from Meng Huo's works Look for derivatives that meet expectations.

For example, Mr. Mach's comics are based on Phantom Thief, which fills readers' desire for Phantom Thief Kidd in "Detective Conan".

The biggest contributor to Phoenix Company is still Meng Huo, as soon as he comes back. Everyone respects him. People greeted him almost everywhere, and Meng Huo originally thought it was the influence of "Fate/staynight". Not so.

The business of the current Phoenix Company relies on Meng Huo as the center and has entered a new stage. The future development prospects are bright, and with the confidence gathered from the top and bottom of Phoenix Company, the employees naturally respect Meng Huo.

The popularity of "Fate/staynight" exposed this respect even more.

In the morning, after looking at the comics and animations, Meng Huo didn't intervene. There is no need for him to intervene anymore, since the company is moving towards a good trend. It would be better to let others continue to work hard, and Meng Huo will intervene when they encounter obstacles.

He can put down his work and continue to be a simple cartoonist, but before that, he received a request from Alice.

"Meng Huo,

"Fate/staynight" has been released. Can you prepare a new game to reassure the production staff? "

This request did not surprise Meng Huo, he had expected this very early on. He accompanied Alice to the game production department. After a warm welcome, Meng Huo asked the people here about their future plans.

Game designers certainly have nothing to say, they have to stay. However, the painters were divided into two diametrically opposed factions.

"I'd better go back and draw manga. I like manga and want to re-serialize it on Weekly Shonen."

"Drawing comics is too tiring, I think it's much more interesting to make games, and this month we will work together to make games. It feels great to see readers go crazy for it!"

Some people want to leave, some people want to continue making games. It fit Meng Huo's mind very well.

In order to catch up with work, he recruited a large number of cartoonists for "Fate/staynight", but now there is no need for this. Meng Huo let the cartoonists choose freely, more than half of them left, and less than 30 remained.

"You will be full-time employees of the company's game department in the future."

Meng Huo was satisfied, and the number of game producers became the least among all departments, but also the most suitable one. These people won't put pressure on the company's finances, and although the cycle of launching a new game will become longer in the future, it's good to be longer.

If Meng Huo were to launch a game every month, he would definitely faint. The setting of Galgame is quite troublesome. Even for "Fate/staynight", he spent the winter vacation preparing.

At noon, when he returned to the office, Meng Huo had a break.

"What's the name of the new game?"

Alice served him tea and asked with a smile.

"It hasn't been decided yet, maybe it's a family theme... Forget it, I heard that "Fate/staynight" has not been cleared yet. The first month or two after the game's release is a very important moment. I want to take care of it." Use this time well."

Meng Huo sipped his tea and said, "Alice, you said that if we hold a "Fate/staynight" reader event, will it be successful?"

"Activity? I don't know about this..."

Alice shook her head. Although "Fate/staynight" was highly praised on the forum, there are still a small number of people who play it.

And whether it is really popular or not will not be known until the player clears the level. Only after passing the test of time can she answer whether the event can be held.

"However, Meng Huo, if it is changed to your meeting, it will be a great success!"

She smiled and said, "Anyway, you have been exposed. The company wants to hold an event for you, and the preparations are almost done. How about it, do you want to find a time to hold a reader meeting... or a signing event would be great too! "

Meng Huo frowned and pondered. One of his big gains in the Far East this time was to mingle with readers. He found that being close to readers is not necessarily a bad thing, and now he has no sense of resistance.

"Okay, you decide."

So he nodded, agreeing to the matter.

"That's what you said!" Ai Li's eyes lit up. It's been almost a year since Meng Huo's debut, and Phoenix Company hasn't really organized an event for him. This has always been a point of dissatisfaction among readers.

As a popular cartoonist, Meng Huo's delay in holding a signing event is also the focus of many media.

"Heck, I'll give you a big stage, Meng Huo, just look forward to it!"

Alice laughed. She felt that Jidong's performance was too wasteful. Meng Huo needed a bigger stage, and he must be a blockbuster.

Meng Huo didn't care. He drank his tea and suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, Alice, you haven't told me about Duke Anthony yet."

"He has returned to England. I don't know the reason..." Alice frowned slightly. She couldn't hide this matter, so she had to confess: "Meng Huo, the old duke said before he left that he wanted to make an appointment with you. Leaving the sequel of "Detective Sherlock" in Zhongxia Company, he is very satisfied with the adaptation by a cartoonist."

Anthony left suddenly, but he left a message. He wanted to compete with Meng Huo on the content of the comics.

The old duke proposed the content of the competition, perhaps because he was not reconciled to "Detective Sherlock" being defeated by "Detective Conan". The first target of Anthony's comics is "Detective Conan"...

"He wants to use "Detective Sherlock" to defeat "Detective Conan", but the channel advantage of Zhongxia Comics is much better than ours, he doesn't want to win without fighting!"

Anthony came up with an interesting idea. He even allowed Meng Huo to use two comics to fight his sequel of "Sherlock".

Meng Huo was surprised by his self-confidence, but after thinking about it, he is also a Nobel Prize winner, so it is not normal to not have such confidence.

Moreover, Zhongxia's channel advantage is too great, and Meng Huo doesn't have much advantage when two comics are against one.

He was curious: "Why does the old Duke believe that I will compete with him?"

"His conditions are very tempting." Alice smiled wryly, and explained: "He promised us that if your two comics exceed "Sherlock", then Zhongxia Company will open channels..."

"As long as you win, you can publish those two comics at Zhongxia Bookstore!"

Hearing this sentence, Meng Huo stood up from his chair: "Is this true?"

What he has always lacked is channels, and if he wins, he can publish comics in Zhongxia Bookstore. The temptation of this victory is not small.

And "Detective Sherlock", Meng Huo didn't think it would be very difficult to surpass it. A story written by a Westerner, can Anthony still be against the sky in China?

"Zhong Xia has already spoken, it is absolutely true..." Alice nodded, but her expression was a little hesitant: "But if you lose, Duke Anthony's request is to let you live in England for half a year."

This request made Alice very worried, but Meng Huo didn't listen to the request.

"No problem." He laughed: "You tell them that I agree, and Zhongxia can publish comics at any time."

Meng Huo calculated in his mind that the timing was just right, and the critical turning point of "Detective Conan" had arrived. And even if this book can't surpass "Detective Sherlock", he still has another one in his hand.

"One Piece", this is a masterpiece!
